snipped all that stuff

I had nine on my Columbia 8.7, four adults and five kids ranging in
age from 5-12 years old for one trip, with me the only individual on
the boat that knew how to sail. Coming back from Ship Island about
five miles to go encountered one of those August afternoon upper gulf
black squalls. What a nightmare. The extra crew was my Sister's
family. To this day, she has never stepped foot on another boat.

Hey have you ever crossed the big bend area down to Suwannee,
Steinhatchee, and on to Cedar Key. If so, what's it like. Thinking
about doing some Gunkholing in that area, maybe this fall.

I've been to Cedar Key by land...wow...that's shallow water around
there...the marina was surrounded by one of those fakey Florida
boardwalk tourista area things with nothing else for miles around...what
would be fun would be to motor up the Suwannee to where the manatees
play at the State Park with the warm springs.....lots of gators, though....
